CAIRO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Islamic State's
Egypt affiliate said it was behind a car bombing that wounded 29 people near a
state security building and courthouse in a Cairo suburb early on Thursday.

A statement circulated on Twitter by
supporters of the group, Sinai
Province, said the bomb
was a reprisal for the execution of six of its members convicted of carrying
out an attack north of the Egyptian capital last year.

"Let the apostates of the police and
army, the followers of Jews, know we are a people who do not forget our
revenge," the statement said.

In May, Egypt
executed six members of Sinai Province for attacking soldiers near Cairo in 2014. The men were convicted on
charges which included carrying out an attack in which two army officers were
killed in Arab Sharkas village north of Cairo.

Sinai Province has killed hundreds of soldiers and police since the
military toppled President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013
after mass protests against his rule.

Security sources who inspected the site of
the blast in Shubra al-Khaima near Cairo
said there was a burned-out vehicle and crater.

Comments on Twitter indicated the blast,
which heavily damaged the face of the state security building, was heard in
several parts of the Egyptian capital.

Shopkeeper Mohamed Ali said he saw a man park
a vehicle that exploded after he stepped away from it.

Militants based in Sinai who support Islamic
State, which controls parts of Iraq
and Syria and has a presence
in Egypt's neighbor Libya, have
proven resilient despite military operations against them.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has
vowed to eradicate militancy, which he has said is an existential threat to the
Arab world and the West.

Stabilizing Egypt is critical to efforts to
rebuild an economy hurt by turmoil since the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni
Mubarak.

Egyptian authorities have mounted the
toughest security crackdown against militants in the country's history, drawing
criticism from human rights groups who accuse the government of stifling
dissent.

This month Sisi approved an anti-terrorism
law that sets up special courts and protects its enforcers in the face of a
two-year-long Islamist insurgency that aims to topple his government.

The law has come under fire from human rights
groups that accuse Sisi of rolling back freedoms won in the 2011 uprising.

COMMENT: .

Mr. SISI who does you thinks
the ISIS listens to and obeys the command of?

Have you any knowledge of it, then have it now and check first
of all to make sure. That authority made you the President to get EX President
Mubarak out of the cases. It was Israel Mossad with the help of CIA and Saudi
Arab.

Now, to poof you off with no obstruction Israel would have 100% support of the general EGYPTIAN public, because you are a
hated person in EGYPT.

And all these are done by Israel and CIA because they are the architect
of creating ISIS and. Their main aim and object is to weaken Egypt, once a Muslim
military might in Mid East which the coward SAUDI ARAB unwittingly axed the
might by listening to ISRAEL on the pretext of Israel would be the savior for SAUDI
Arab from NUKE IRAN.

But President Obama of US has adequately and capably handled
the issue for the safety of all Mid East countries including Israel.

Now, as per plan of Israel
and CIA is to be against Turkey
to weaken it, to make Israel
the Headman of MID EAST. Better help TURKEY and better your disgusting personal
record as these bombing in the court is the beginning of the forth coming end
of your days in power. Find out why your friends are bombing your court
premises.
